"Should we support Iranian opposition groups to help them overthrow the Iranian regime?" In contrast to our last issue, readers were divided right down the middle on this question. Half the opinions favored assisting the Iranian opposition, while the other half completely opposed doing so. The additional comments were few and didn't add much, aside from indicating that readers are united against the Iranian regime (not surprising for a Hasidic Jewish newsletter, of course), but that many also didn't trust the opposition groups.

Just who is that opposition? That's the crux of the issue.

Factual Background:Since last year, the George Bush Administration has been disbursing $75 million to dissidents and opposition groups exiled from Iran, with the aim of bolstering opposition movements inside Iran. But since 2001, the president has also been gradually building warmer relations with the Iranian regime, culminating during the last two months in a series of meetings between high-level U.S. and Iranian officials. (And since the 1990s, Dick Cheney, now vice president, has advocated removing sanctions against Iran.) That's a blatant continuation of Clinton Administration policy, which sought to establish normal relations with the Tehran regime and open up channels for economic trade and assistance. So there's no question Bush isn't planning to overthrow the regime.

That should raise suspicions as to just how genuine the "opposition" really is. Already for a number of years, an open network of non-religious groups, including labor unions, student groups, newspapers, and political parties, has been allowed, even encouraged, by the regime to flourish. Protests have been conducted with little or no action by authorities; "dissenting" views are published, often unhindered; and dissidents are often allowed to fill top offices. Given the all-pervasive control of the secret police (supervised and run by the Soviet Russian KGB), it's readily apparent that the opposition movement must be heavily penetrated by police agents and informants.

For that matter, the movement is run by the regime, too. Various opposition organizations, such as the Islamic Iran Participation Front and the Islamic Student Association, are openly supported by top leaders of the regime, including some of the most notorious terrorists of the 1979 revolution. Ibrahim Yazdi, a top opposition leader, was himself a major figure in the Marxist, Soviet-supported elements of the original revolution, and was a close ally of Khomenei; his Freedom Movement, which participated in the 1979 revolution with Soviet support, has been allowed to exist to the present day and now leads the "opposition." The same can be said of many other opposition figures.

Unsurprisingly, then, the "opposition" is plainly Marxist in ideology, advocates "reform" rather than overthrow of the regime, and vociferously blocks any U.S. intervention that might risk bringing down the Tehran dictatorship.

The exiled opposition isn't any different. Opposition groups based in the U.S. and Europe are composed heavily of well-organized members of the 1979 revolution who originally participated in the Iranian regime. The most openly Communist elements of the revolution, such as the Tudeh Party (Iran's Communist Party), the Fedayin-e-Khalq, and the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), left the regime in the early 1980s when the Soviets decided to create a non-Communist image of Iran. Those are the very groups now influencing or leading the exiled opposition; the MEK, in particular, has received military aid from the Iraqi Communist regime of Saddam Hussein, and many American politicians have lobbied to provide U.S. aid as well. And Soviet-backed revolutionaries who helped install the current regime can be found populating the U.S.-based National Front movement, which parades its Marxism fairly openly.

The wife and son of the former Shah of Iran are trying to rally Iranians behind a possible restoration of the monarchy, but their movement is small and probably heavily infiltrated by Communists and agents of Iranian intelligence. The Shah's son and heir to the throne, moreover, studied political science in an American university, a subject typically dominated by Marxist professors, and spent time in Communist Egypt. Thus his own reliability is in doubt, and in any case he could never hope to change the regime without completely overthrowing it and executing literally millions of agents and collaborators with the government.

Relevant Torah Principles:1) Various Torah sources explain that the evil nation of Amalek employs trickery and deception to confuse opponents. Ambushes and traps form a major part of Amaleki tactics. Such methods can reduce even the mightiest of opponents to helpless victims, even though Amaleki forces are always militarily weak and could be easily defeated on the open battlefield.

2) Amaleki disguises and traps are designed to lure an opponent into a no-win situation, where every option brings defeat. The object is to create a sense of futility and despair, of defeatism, that allows Amalek to win through psychological warfare rather than physical conquest. Consequently, one cannot break out of the trap without rejecting all available options and rewriting the rules of the war from scratch.

3) When the Jews were attacked by Amaleki forces disguised as "Canaanites" (Numbers 21:1-3) and couldn't be sure which enemy they were confronting, they promised G-d not to keep any of the spoils of victory, but rather to exterminate the enemy entirely, along with their possessions. In the merit of this promise, G-d delivered the Jews out of the Amaleki trap and gave them victory. In order to receive G-d's blessing for victory over Amaleki forces, we must commit ourselves not just to victory, but to total, merciless annihilation of the enemy. This principle applies only to war against Amalek, an enemy that will not rest even in defeat.

Analysis:The first priority of Communists everywhere in the world is to infiltrate and neutralize their opposition, to ensure nothing can get out of control and destroy them. Thus it is never possible to change Communist regimes through internal opposition forces, and certainly not through reform or partial measures. Total, overwhelming force must be employed to overthrow the regime, and victory must be followed through with an immediate, wholesale slaughter of every former member of the Communist apparatus, right down to the lowest informants and secretaries. Any show of mercy will only open the door to a return of the Communists and their bloody revolution.

Iran has been playing the "reform" deception with the U.S. for over two decades. In the 1980s, a phony "moderate" faction of the government tricked American officials into supplying advanced weapons to the Iranian military; in the 1990s, another "moderate" faction nearly manipulated the U.S. into extending full diplomatic relations with the regime; and now since 2000, a phony "democratic" movement is being positioned for an internally generated "regime change," much like the fake changes in Soviet Russia, to lure the U.S. into recognizing and aiding the Tehran government. But such aid would only be used to fuel more Communist revolution and terrorism throughout the Middle East.

Sooner or later, there will be an all-out war with the Communist Bloc that will finally destroy their regimes and exterminate hundreds of millions of their members. In our current generation, Moshiach (the Messiah) will ultimately lead the Jewish people in the final war to exterminate every last trace of Amalek and its collaborators, the prerequisite to rebuilding the Jerusalem Temple. But we can already achieve much of that victory with minimal hardship now, by fighting for total and immediate victory rather than falling into traps of bogus "opposition" and "democracy" movements around the world.

And now for this week's survey question:

What should be done to prevent tuberculosis patients from exposing others to the bacterium?

We thought this would be the last installment of our interfaith mini-series, but since our last issue, Israeli Chief Sephardic Rabbi Shlomo Amar managed to take his treason against Judaism to new lows. Not only is he still actively engaging in forbidden interfaith dialogue and legitimizing terrorists, he's wrapping the whole evil in a mantle of religious piety.

Last week, Amar announced that Israel is morally obligated to intervene in Gaza affairs  to save PLO terrorists! He called on Israel to take measures to stop the (non-existent) fighting between the PLO and Hamas. But since Amar doesn't advocate sending the military into the Gaza Strip to crush both groups  indeed, he even spoke out against sending in troops merely to stop Kassam missile launchings  he was implicitly endorsing the treasonous policy of the Ehud Olmert government, which actively seeks to finance, arm, and surrender to the PLO.

That's nothing new for Amar. He's long been an outspoken advocate of surrendering vital territory to the PLO, precisely the strategic areas the Communist Bloc needs as a staging area for the future invasion of Israel (i.e., the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights). But rather than admitting he's betraying Jewish lives as well as the Jewish religion, Amar actually justifies the surrender as being a religious principle of Torah, for the sake of saving lives (by appeasing Israel's enemies)!

As if that Orwellian inversion of reality weren't enough, Amar couched his new support for the PLO as, of all things, a fulfillment of the Torah obligation to teach the Seven Noahide Laws to all gentiles. And he cynically used the name of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, as justification, since the Rebbe so passionately advocated the Noahide campaign (the main purpose of this JAHG-USA newsletter).

It goes without saying that the Rebbe never intended the Noahide Laws campaign to be twisted into a sick excuse for promoting Communist revolution. The Noahide Laws are aimed at bringing gentiles out of false religions to become Hasidic Gentiles, not to support genocide against Jews and Arabs by the Communist PLO and its Soviet Russian sponsor. If anything, the obligations of Jews toward gentiles include sending Israeli troops into the Gaza and West Bank to annihilate the PLO and re-liberate those lands as part of Israel, thereby saving palestinian Arabs from mass murder and opening the door for their conversion to the Noahide Laws.

Of course, Amar also twists the Noahide Laws into the very opposite of their intent through ecumenical dialogue  which is to say, gradually merging Judaism with other religions rather than bringing the world to Torah values. Thus Amar is now working on interfaith projects with Israeli government minister Ghaleb Majadle and other Arab "Muslim leaders." Majadle is a top member of Israel's Labor Party, an affiliate of the Soviet-controlled Socialist International, and he participates in meetings with Communist Parties from around the world; Majadle has likewise worked closely with the Israeli Communist Party (now renamed "Hadash") in promoting Israel's surrender to the PLO. And the other "Muslim leaders" Amar favors are, by definition, those who support the PLO. So not only does "Rabbi" Amar promote Moscow's objective of Jewish-Muslim ecumenism, he does so in support of the Communist political agenda. And all in the name of Torah.

No matter how you look at it, Amar is clearly a conscious, dedicated agent of the Communist conspiracy. If orthodox rabbis had any real spine, they'd strip Amar of his rabbinical ordination, put him under a ban of excommunication from the Jewish people, and actively oppose all his Marxist and interfaith subversion.

Alas, these are not days of moral backbone.

Eye-Openers in the News

A closer look at news reports in recent weeks turns up some revealing gems:

"Al Qaeda" disinformation comes from Communist regimes. If you've been wondering where the Bush Administration gets its notions about alleged "Al Qaeda" networks, look no further than Sudan. Believe it or not, it turns out that much of America's knowledge about "Al Qaeda" comes directly from Sudanese intelligence. Sudan has been a Communist-ruled nation since the 1960s, tightly supervised and armed by both Soviet Russia and Red China. So the Communist Bloc, which works day and night to appear "post-Communist," is feeding the U.S. Soviet-concocted disinformation about nonexistent "Al Qaeda" groups as cover for Communist revolutionary activities directed by Moscow and Beijing. The Bush Administration and the news media repeat the lies, Americans become distracted by phantom "Islamist" enemies, and the Communists laugh all the way to their next terror attack.

Arctic ice isn't experiencing "global warming." The south pole, where temperatures continue to drop and the snow is piling higher every year, doesn't make a very good poster boy for the "global warming" propagandists. So they ignore Antarctica, where the vast majority of the world's ice is located, and instead turn to a small amount of ice melting in the Arctic region (the north pole) for news publicity. But now a new study in the Journal of Geophysical Research shows that much of the (slight) melting isn't coming from warmer temperatures, but rather from black soot that has settled on parts of the Arctic ice. Coal-burning plants in Red China contribute much of the soot, which causes some snow to absorb more sunlight and thaw out. Not that there's any problem with melting Arctic ice, but in any case it's certainly no evidence of "global warming." Overall, the world's temperature has remained unchanged for decades.

Behind Iran's veil is militant atheism. While the Iranian revolutionary regime broadcasts images of "theocratic Islam" and strict religious piety, inside the country things are a very different story. The Soviet-backed regime, which came to power with the help of Iran's Communists (the Tudeh Party) and the KGB-run PLO, has since 1979 quietly been tearing out the Muslim religion by the roots. In contrast to the more conservative period under the Shah (the king), the new schools and universities have drenched entire generations of students with anti-religious brainwashing of feminism, population and birth control, opposition to family values, distrust of religion, and other Marxist propaganda. Today, vast numbers of young adults walk the streets of Tehran and other cities clean-shaven and wearing blue jeans; they mock religion, especially Islam; and they parrot Socialism, feminism, and other Leftist causes. Iran's Communist rulers have gradually paved the way for a transition to overt, atheistic Communism, which they hope to portray as "democracy" (read: "people's democratic republic").

YOUR TIME IS NEEDED MORE BADLY THAN YOUR MONEY!We need more volunteers to approach nervous, spineless "refusenik" rabbis to ask them why they refused, and to lobby them to change their mind. With even just a little pressure, we can quickly turn many of them to endorse the PLO-defunding campaign.

Terrorism Update:

Summary of PLO-related terror attacks these last two weeks, Wednesday (June 13) through Tuesday (June 26):

Between bogus news reports of "fighting" against Hamas, the PLO group Fatah found time to attack its real targets. Fatah units violently assaulted three Frenchmen, kidnapped at least one palestinian Arab shopkeeper, and engaged Israeli soldiers in gun battles (through Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Tanzim militia). And even Arutz-Sheva ("Channel 7," the heavily infiltrated, phony "right-wing" news service) reported that a Fatah unit participated in a Kassam missile launch from the Gaza Strip  after Fatah was allegedly "defeated" there by Hamas! But, in fact, there was no "Hamas victory," nor even any real fighting, in Gaza; the PLO and its main Fatah group continue to control the Gaza, running it increasingly as a Communist "people's republic." The presence of Hamas is purely a decoy for outsiders, helping to disguise PLO activities.
Fatah's Tanzim militia was also caught by Israeli law enforcement in the midst of planning suicide bombings.

Also participating in that suicide bombing plot was the overtly Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a major wing of the PLO. The fact that the plan was actively assisted by Hezbollah, the PLO's Lebanese front founded by Yassir Arafat's Force 17, shows how utterly arbitrary are the distinctions between the various PLO-aligned groups. Money, weapons, logistical aid, and even members flow freely between the various "factions," which work together closely in the revolution. At the top is the Soviet Russian KGB/SVR, which gives the orders (while the U.S. provides the money). Communism, not Islam or Arab ethnicity, is the driving force, and the entire human race is the target.
Naturally, then, one shouldn't be the least bit surprised that the PFLP was also caught helping Fatah in a recent gun battle against Israeli troops.
A few weeks ago, a PFLP cell was intercepted while planning a bombing attack on a synagogue and a series of kidnappings of Americans in Israel. Yet the George Bush Administration continues to push for more PLO funding.

The Islamic Jihad Movement, a de facto member of the PLO for some two decades, acknowledged firing a number of the Kassam missiles of the last two weeks, including at least four medium-range Al-Quds missiles. Islamic Jihad is under the operational command of the PLO's Fatah, and consequently also helped Fatah's Al-Aqsa Brigades in a gun battle against Israeli soldiers. Separately, the Islamic Jihad helped fire anti-tank missiles and guns at Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip.

Those latter attacks were assisted by the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), a PLO front group founded and run by Fatah as another arm through which the PLO can conduct attacks while not officially taking credit (Arutz-Sheva, the Israeli news service that poses as the "right-wing opposition," consistently echoes PLO propaganda by referring to the PRC as "Hamas-linked," totally ignoring Fatah control over the group). The PRC further attacked Israeli soldiers in various locations with gunfire and hand grenades.

And wouldn't you know it, Hamas was right there working with those Fatah-run groups! Right on the heels of reports of fictional "battles" with Fatah, Hamas participated in an attack on Israeli soldiers, using gunfire and anti-tank missiles, together with the PRC and Islamic Jihad, both arms of Fatah. But then, Hamas itself is filled with PLO/Fatah members who take their orders from the PLO  just as Hamas itself does.

Hezbollah was leery of provoking another Israeli invasion, so a mysterious, unknown group calling itself the "Jihadi Badr Brigades" took credit for firing three Soviet Russian Katyusha missiles from Lebanon into northern Israel. Who were the strange Brigades? The first clue lay in the use of a PLO flag in its slap-together emblem; Hezbollah was founded by the PLO's Force 17 and remains tightly linked to the PLO. The second clue could be found in the fact that the missiles were fired from within Hezbollah-controlled territory. Top officials in the government of Prime Traitor Ehud Olmert quickly dismissed any connection with Hezbollah  and promptly suggested the group was linked to "Al Qaeda"! No, they didn't have any evidence. That was simply the "party line."
With the help of high-level Communist infiltrators in the Israeli government, the PLO has many ways of delivering its terror message without facing retaliation.

A bomb at a bus stop in Turkey killed four and injured several others. Although the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) hesitated in taking credit, the PKK's hand was obvious. The official Communist party of Turkish Kurds, the PKK was founded by the PLO, with which it continues to work closely.

Letters to the Editor

(In response to the article on women as political leaders in our June 10th issue):
 " [You wrote] regarding women never being in [political] office, but you failed to mention your previous comments on women leading temporarily " [i.e., today women may have to lead anyway].  JA.

Our response: In our last issue, we did mention that, while the Torah is very much against women serving as political or judicial leaders, there are times that the Torah does allow some limited and temporary female leadership. But that's only during a crisis in which there aren't any men willing to be men, and so a strong woman may have no choice but to step forward to save the day.

On the other hand, Midrashic Torah sources inform us that the Jews were redeemed from slavery in Egypt in the merit of the women, who steadfastly maintained their loyalty to Jewish customs and population growth. Torah tradition likewise tells us that the Messianic redeemer will come in the merit of the Jewish women.

How does that translate into practice today, when we find ourselves in the midst of total, global war with international Communism, the modern manifestation of Amaleki revolution? How can women today show leadership while still adhering to the letter and spirit of the Torah?

It isn't necessary for women to step forward and replace men as leaders today, nor would that even be helpful. Women simply aren't the best leaders for combat. Even Deborah, the prophetess who was forced to lead the Jewish people in a time lacking in manliness, sent Barak ben Avinoam (a man) to lead the soldiers into battle against the Canaanites. Barak and all other men of the generation were too weak to lead overall, but military combat just doesn't work with women.

Rather, women's leadership today must come from below, by pushing their men  their husbands and sons  to perform their duties in fighting Communism, defunding the PLO, and proselytizing gentiles to drop false religions and become Hasidic Gentiles. Moshiach (the Messiah) will come because women will force their men to act like men, rather than trying to replace them.
